Ohio Again TO the Front.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In recent
issue appeared an article from Chas Soule, Co. q,
LIST Ohio replying TO the claim of the Bangor
company enlisting April 10. 1861. On the 18th
Of April 1861, the citizens were holding a meet
ing 10 give expression concerning the firing on
Fort Sumter. While the meeting was in prog
ress dispatch was received announcing the
surrender of Fort Sumter. The meeting al
once adjourned 10 Armstrong; Hall at Z y. IN.
TO raise a company to tender TO the Governor.
The meeting convened promptly, and A. S. Leg
gett tafterward killed at Stone River drew up
heading for an enlistment roll, and was the
first 10 sign it. The company was organized,
with the following officers: Captain. Jacob
Ammen (aftorward Gen. Ammen, and now OF
Ammendale ID. c.: First Lieut., +. c. Devore
Second Lieut., 4. NJ. Carey (afterward Major,
23d Ohiol. On the l4th Capt. Ammen left for
Columbus TO tender the company 10 the Gov
ernor. When he got there Lineoln's proclama-
ton calling for $1,000 men was received Our
company was accepted, and left Ripley for Camp
jackson on the 18th, arriving there en- the 18th
at noon. We were in camp in time to have
been with the LIST or I'd Ohio which were in the
first Bull Run fight, but we were assigned as
Co. ii, 10Th Ohio. Our boys thought we were
lucky TO get into the 18th, as there was such a
rush of men to get into 0hiOs quota of I3 regi.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Allow me
space for a few words in reply TO an article in
your issue Of March 10, headed "Stuart's Cav
airy" COmrade Phillips is in error when he
says, with daylight came the report Of the
earbines of the Sth N. Y Cav, driving the
pickets on the reserve" Now, the carbines of
the Sth N. Y. Cav. did not report in that way.
The pickets were captured without any report
by them or u.s. But we were not so fortunate
with the reserve. They reported our crossing
after il was effected, aud the result was
that Col. Davis quot COL Davies) ordered
the advance squadron, composed of Co.'S q and
ID, 9Th n. y, and commanded by Capt. ii.
b. Compson, 10 charge up the road aud the
Others 10 follow. Co. q being in the advance.
the writer, who was First Sergeant of that
company, rode with Capt. Compson and other
officers at the head of the charging column
The road was narrow and hedged in on both sides
by thick scrub-pines, and we were obliged to
charge in column Of fOurs. Col. Davis rode
nearly abreast Of us, aud we were met in this
narrow road by charging column of the
enemy. The morning being fOggy aud chilly,
Col. Davis had a shawl over his shoulders. and
when we came hand 10 hand and within a few
feet OF the enemy, the Colonel threw off the
shawl and drew his saber, and in a sharp, clear
voice commanded, "Staud firm, 9Th N. Y"
The words were hardly uttered when the cruel
bullet did its fatal work. The rebel was
riddled with balls, as well as many others, and
they fell back in disorder TO their camp, which
by that time was ready TO be reviewed" But
our inspection Of their arms and equipments
were little too rigid, and they good naturedly
took pretty good pounding until they re-
ceived assistance from their infantry. Now the
fact that We rode our saddles SO well that June
morning probably is what led them TO believe
that we were strapped on" But the thrashing
they got should have reversed their statement
that one Of Stuart's cavalry could whip Eve
9anks. There was Col. Davies in the army,
but the officer here referred to was b. +.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: i see that
some OF your correspondents get-out of fit with
some Of the old veterans for disputing about
"who planted the first flag" As for myself, /

that there is after all some brains among that

and charged the lines with determination to
break through. They reached the fort swarmed
over the parapet and made it so hoe inside
that nobody could stay. All the rebels who
could not immediately get away surrendered.
They held the fort until or 10 o'clock that

being in possession Of the fort, but they did not

Give Them Their Due.


E. Y. Shelf, Co. K, 10th Ind, Akron, Ind,
regrets the defeat of the dependent pension
bill, but has unbounded faith in the determi-
nation of the soldiers to insist upon their
rights, and in the desire Of the people at large
to see justice done, which he thinks will result
in the passage of measures for their relief
ROb't 4. POgue, First Lieutenant, Co. E. ID
KY. Cav, Quincy, KY, fayors thorough re-
adjustment of the pension laws. There should
be modification Is to the testimony required
and some of the obstacles now in the way of
furnishing evidence should be removed. He
also urges repeal of the limitation of arrears,
and thinks many of the ratings are too low It
is ridiculous in the highest degree to pay
man one dollar or two dollars a MONTH
p. Cudmore, Faribault, Mimi, wonders why
the soldier-hating newspapers do not advocate
the reputation of the public debt. He thinks
1t would be just as consistent and proper for
them to do this as to argue in favor of ignoring
the Nations obligations TO the soldiers. One is
just as sacred as the other, and to be consistent
either both should be paid or both repudiated
Solomon Foster, Detroit, Mimi, thinks the
veto of the pension bill was an insult to the
veterans who sacrificed everything in defense
of the Nation. He thinks the Limitation of
arrears is very unjust, and that the restriction
will keep up the fight until all the veterans
receive their dues.
I. II. Shipley, Martinsville, Ind, says the
course of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE on the De-
pendent Pension Bill meets the hearty indOrse-
ment of all the soldiers in that vicinity
John Rutherford, 18th U. 5. @. t., Bradford
Pa, complains of the injustice of the Limitation
Of arrears, and hopes the next Congress will
repeal it.

Hiram G. Walker, Lieutenant Co. c. 10th ILL.,
Cav, address not given, says that he felt so
keenly the injustice done to the soldiers by the
veto that he wrote letter TO the President on
the subject. He wishes to give Mr.. Cleveland

A. C. Baker, Co. A, 4th Mimi, Browntou,

printed slip containing singing reply written
by him to the Minneapolis Tribune which sus-
tanned the veto of the pension bill. Lack of
space precludes the possibility Of its publica-
ton.
Chas. Dunlap, Co. @, 18th Ind, Arapahoe,
Neb, thinks the President did right TO veto
the pension bill. He is in favor of pensions to
the soldiers, bat does not think this bill was
just and equitable one. He thinks it favored
those who did but little service at the expense
Of those who bore the burden and heat Of the
day.
George Sperry, Captain, 22d ". Y. Cav, Lock

term, Cleveland will be "relegated to innocuOus
political desuetude."
James M. Carpenter, Co. F, 9th Vt, Jericho
Center, VT, highly appreciates The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE and us faithful efforts in behalf OF
the soldiers. He says that the action of the
President in vetoing the pension bill caused
many hearts TO ache. He suggests that Con-
gress reduce Mr.. Cleveland's salary to $I3 a
month. put n knapsack on his back, musket
on his shoulder, with three days rations of
bareback and maggoty bacon and so rounds of
ammunition, make him march 80 miles day
in the rain and then stand picket all night, and
see how he would like it.

7. Garrison, De Gress's battery, Hamler, o.
says that having been n member of this battery
he feels some interest in the subject of its re-
capture at Atlanta. So far rs he is able to Judge
the credit of retaking the battery belongs to
the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fifteenth

5lth Ohio, 9th and Sth Mo-, and 55th Ill. De
Gresss battery lay to the right of the Howard

opinion upon matters ofpuOlic impor-

the force of his objections to the pro.

plank la the state DE- moCratic platform

Of the party: II the question OF pro-

senator Coke knows, ~ every other
intelligent man in Texas knows, that
u decided majority of the democrats
of the tate are opposed to prohloi-
ton This being true, IL would be
srrant co wardice in the state cOnyen-
ton to refuse to put on record the
sentiment of this ma GRITTY. The
senator refers 10 extremists in this
matter. l. il not probable that he
mistakes the motive OF prudential
leaders for the designs of extremists:
Only q week ago there was a secret
midnight meeting of prohibition
leaders in Waco, right under Senator
Cose's nose, aud these men publicly
proclaim their intention of keeping
up the prohibition sgitation--on u
non.psrtissn basis. This of itself is

suppose for mOm,nt that If the pro

placing prohibition plank IN the
